Laugh with me baby… I just want the simple things

March 2, 2014 by MD

It’d been a while since I had heard a song for the first time and within 15 seconds found myself saying “This is incredible. Who IS this??” The latest from Miguel, Simplethings, did exactly that. This song is everything I want out of music, and everything I’m living right now. Soulful vocals, a growling guitar and profound honesty make it the perfect anthem for this very moment. Don’t miss this one. Miguel – Simplethings

OK so #1 guilty pleasure of 2012? The video for Try, off P!nk’s new album. Actually fuck that, she’s a legit favorite, indie cred be damned. The song is amazing for those nights you’re just having a lot of feelings (he doesn’t even GO here!) and the video kind of reminds me of that Sigur Ros video with Shia Le Boeuf, except it’s almost as though Pink saw it and was like, “Ok, kinda like that, except no butterflies, lots […]

The 1975 are the best angst-ridden brit rock I’ve found in a long time. I stumbled across the title track from their latest EP, Sex, a couple months ago. Incredibly catchy, even if it does toe the line of misogyny; it’s great to rock out to when you’re feeling some romantic righteous indignation. Even better though, is The City, off their last EP, which has the same fuck-all tone, but pulls a little harder on the heartstrings. Also worth a […]

Awesome new video and track Hurricane from sneak attack favorites MS MR. Everyone I have played it for is like “who IS this?” in a way that I don’t even have to ask if they like what they hear. While the new track is pretty amazing, for me it still hasn’t surpassed Bones, which remains one of my absolute favorite songs. Their cover of Patrick Wolf’s Time Of My Life is also very impressive. Something tells me they are like […]

You want dark? Check out Sixteen Saltines by Jack White. The lyrics seem pretty innocuous until you start to get the innuendo, and the video is all just kids misbehaving until you realize what the fuck is going on and you’re like “how far are they going to push this?” Evidently the only shot MTV gave as reason for refusing to put it on the air was the plastic bag over the head…? It was directed by AG Rojas, who […]
